That's a classical "risk-off" scenario:
People move out of the USD, out of equity and long-term maturities.
(Gold also regularly profits from such days.)
The inverse scenario is risk-on:
USD long, index/equity buying, longer maturities.
That's spread trading. For the most part, Notes & Bonds track together, usually tick by tick. The price divergence we've seen between the two lately is not typical. It may be an arbitrage opportunity as you can bet most of the spread traders will be expecting the price gap to close. It would be very difficult to trade with outrights as you never know which instrument will fall in alignment with the other.
